Incorrect. Well.... not exactly.

A tag based UDF allows you to specify output=true/false. This does two
things:

a) Allows a UDF to display text.
b) And while this is technically the same, controls the white space
generated by a UDF.

So even if your UDF doesn't do <cfoutput>foo</cfoutput>, if you call it,
and output is NOT specified or set to true, white space will be
generated. So, you should ALWAYS use output=false if your udf is not
displaying anything.

A script based udf is different. It should not generate any white space
at all, but does allow you to writeOutput crap.
